' Improvement in Stove-Lid and Pot Lifters,

of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to stove lid and pot lifters and has for itsobject to provide a lifter which is very simple and cheap inconstruction and one which is very effective in use.

Another object of my invention is to provide a lifter so constructedthat it can be used for a stove door opener or for a pot lifter whendesired.

Another object of my invention is to pro-' vide the foot of the lifterwith a heel, adapted to engage the opening in the lid and make itimpossible for the lid to drop off.

The invention consists in certain details of construction, hereinafterfully described and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification :Figure 1 is aperspective view of the stove lid and pot lifter. Fig. 2 is aperspective view of the stove lid and pot lifter showing the manner ofholding the same when used as a stove lid lifter. Fig. 3 is an end viewof the stove lid and pot lifter.

Referring to the drawing A, indicates a strip of metal preferably ofspring steel having its upper end 'bent at a right angle'to form ahandle B, the extreme end being bent back upon itself to form a loop C,adapted to be engaged by the thumb when used for a stove lid lifter. Thelower end is bent to form an opened loop D, forming a heel for the rightangle foot E, which is provided with a forked or pronged upwardlyprojecting toe member F the foot and handle being parallel with eachother. The foot is adapted to be inserted into the recess in the lid andbe securely locked therein by the heel when held in a vertical position.It will readily be seen that the open loop forming the heel, can be usedas a pot lifter when desired, and the forked toe used to open the stovedoor when the handle is too hot to be caught hold of with the hand.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that I have provided astove lid and pot lifter so constructed that all danger of the lidslipping off is prevented.

aving thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desireto secure by Letters Patent is 1. A stove lid and pot lifter comprisinga body portion having a handle portion provided with a looped end, anopened loop portion forming a heel and a foot portion connected to saidheel arranged under said handle portion and parallel therewith, for thepurpose described.

2. A stove lid and pot lifter comprising a body portion provided with aright-angled handle portion provided with a looped end, an opened loopportion forming a heel and a right-anglefoot portion connected to saidheel portion, said handle and foot being parallel with each other, forthe purpose described.
